My mama

Her birthday and her anniversary of her passing are a week apart…I can’t help but feel sad and hurt. This time of year is the worst for me and my siblings. I miss her everyday 😢 I love you mama 💔

... Read moreThe experience of losing a loved one can be profoundly challenging, especially during significant dates that remind us of their absence. As we commemorate these milestones, it’s vital to acknowledge the mixed emotions that arise. Grieving is a personal journey that varies from person to person, often leaving individuals feeling lonely and reflective. Many find solace in creating rituals or traditions to honor the memory of their loved ones, which can help in processing grief. Activities such as lighting a candle, visiting a special place, or sharing stories with family and friends not only pay tribute but can also provide comfort. Engaging with support groups or online communities can be beneficial. Sharing experiences and feelings can lessen the burden of grief. For those dealing with similar emotions, remember that it's okay to seek help and express vulnerability. Surrounding oneself with understanding people can foster healing and remembrance. In the end, the love for those who have passed on continues to live through the stories we tell and the memories we cherish. Let this anniversary serve as a gentle reminder of both the pain of loss and the beauty of love that remains.

I bought a car for my mama 🥰✨
I flew all the way to Missouri to surprise my mama with a car for her birthday 😩💛 Being out here in the country has been so humbling on its own. But seeing my mama’s pure joy & happiness over this gift is what has truly humbled me. Her gratefulness over the fact that she just has a CAR! No care
